Cornelius has been working with us for about 2 years now and in that time he has transformed our…read morerelationship to our yard and porch area. After years of neglect, Cornelius has worked towards fixing our grass, breathed new life into our flowers, and cleaned the porch so thoroughly that it's back to its original color. He is thorough, efficient, and talented at what he does, not to mention he is incredibly kind. I will continue hiring Cornelius and Julian's Landscaping & Property Maintenance as long as I'm in Charlottesville!

Update: we ended up having to go to court to get a judgement on the money that Cornelius took from…read moreus, he didn't bother showing up because he doesn't care so the judge ruled in our favor. Background: we paid Cornelius 700.00 for yard work, over a period of two months he would give us one excuse after the other for why he hadn't gotten started. After we requested a refund he revealed that he no longer had our money so we agreed to a July date for repayment. That day came and went and Cornelius blamed us for not giving him more time. He lied to us about using our money to rent lands saying equipment to do our yard work and he has been mute on what he actually did with it. I informed him that we would be going to court and he was really nice about it stating "you won't get any fight from me". Well I showed up, he didn't and when I asked him about getting another address to send the summons too he got angry (see screenshot). I don't understand how he presented himself as such a good guy and then showed no remorse about just taking our money and skipping out. I even told him that I'd saved that money to use to get the yard leveled so we could install a playset for our two year old. I saved money the VA gave me while going to school so I could do something kind for my child and now I'm just heartbroken because this man took advantage of us and just doesn't care. Good luck if you still choose to use him.

After a great deal of research and checking references, I chose Ray to do a difficult painting and…read morerepair job in our home. He started and finished on time and did a spectacular job. The room looks brand new. I must admit, I set the bar low because of the condition of the space, but Ray and his crew worked patiently and assiduously to bring it back to its original condition. They were all perfectionists and it certainly showed. I have since contracted Ray to do additional work and I look forward to working with him again. I have the upmost trust that he will do another impressive job and I highly recommend him. Nancy R.

This does NOT review the quality of Mr. Hite's work, but about his professionality. He came to our…read morenewly-purchased house once and, after initially thinking that he was too "high end" for what we needed done, I felt I wanted to give him a chance and decided that I wanted my spouse to hear what he had to say. So, he said he'd return and on my spouse's one day off that week, we drove an hour and a half to our new house to meet him, as well as two other contractors. Well, turns out another contractor was still in our driveway when Mr. Hite arrived so he kept on driving. I texted him about 45 minutes after our appointed time and he told me as much. I texted back saying that, if he was still in the area, we'd love to talk to him. Never heard another word from him. Was it a faux pas to have a potential competitor in the driveway? I don't know. Maybe. But, I wouldn't have thought so. So, c'mon, be professional enough to reply.

I have used this company for several years and they are very professional and have always done a…read moregreat job for me. They have great equipment that looks new because they keep them unbelievably clean. As far as the price for the work they do, it's very hard to tell because every tree job is different. As far as getting several quotes on any job, price isn't the only consideration. Do they have verifiable insurance that will cover your property. Are they considerate of your property and do a good clean-up before leaving.

My experience with Frazier Tree Experts is worth a Post Script. They contacted me after I posted…read morethe Yelp review and asked what they can do to 'make things right". I indicated that they should remove the tree sections left behind and see what could be done about the lawn damage. After no action I sent another message a week later. Frazier asked if they could visit my property, yesterday afternoon and if I would be home. I said yes, waited five hours and they neither came nor called. These are the facts.

The owner was texting me while he was out of state and was extremely communicative throughout the process. Can not recommend this company enough. One of the most professional and customer-first experiences I've ever had.

I reached out to Joey to come give me an estimate for a privacy fence. After he came out, he went over the options with me and let me know what he thought regarding different possibilites.

Fair price, good work, and done within a reasonable amount of time!

The first thing I want to say is that Cody's crew work like it is their own home. Very thoughtful, professional, precise. The result looks beautiful, and we have hired them to do other projects. I know that once people hear about Childers Services, it might take me longer to get them back, but it will be worth it. Price was very fair, and the work turned out really nice! Thank you to Cody, Gabriel, and crew. I look forward to seeing you soon.

Toby and his team identified the problems and performed a like-new repair on all areas. They also replaced a cedar fence and added a gate. The work was very professional and the house looks like new. They even went above and beyond what was contracted to do it correctly. I would recommend Childers Services to anyone looking for high-quality home repair.

I can't say enough good things about my recent experience with Ridgeline. I reached out to Colton,…read morethe owner, in the winter and he kindly and patiently worked with me over the past few months as we hashed out our plan. It didn't take me long to realize that Colton was (a) knowledgeable, (b) diligent, and (c) very concerned w. my happiness and satisfaction w. every aspect of the project. Not once did I feel like he was cutting corners or just going thru the motions. On the contrary, the level of service he provided was, I believe, how he would want to be treated as a customer. And he surpassed that bar time and time again. Case in point, when weather and travel threatened to delay the installation date he worked hard to develop an alternative plan. The level of thought, effort, and communication as we worked thru that were much appreciated and much more than I would've normally expected. Additionally, whereas he could've easily collected payment and went on to the next job, his follow-up in the weeks after has been above and beyond. He continues to drive by, check in, and offer helpful guidance. I wouldn't hesitate one bit to recommend Colton -- and in fact have, to both friends and strangers who've passed by and complimented the drastic change in our front yard. I agree wholeheartedly w. the other reviewer about Ridgeline earning its place as a long-term trusted partner!
